The Effects of Structural Characteristics of the Rollator on the Elderly’s Gait Strategies in Various Walking Environments

The Effects of Structural Characteristics of the Rollator on the Elderly’s Gait Strategies in Various Walking Environments

A rollator, one of the most widely used among walking assistance devices, can assist the elderly with stable walking in their daily lives. In this study, we investigated how the structural characteristics of two types of rollators affect the upper and lower extremity muscle activity and plantar pres...
